Doc. PhDr. Jana Kalinayová-Bartová, PhD. is a Slovak musicologist, university lecturer, and specialist in music museology. Her research focuses on the musical history of Bratislava, early Slovak music, and organology.
After completing her studies in musicology at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava, she worked at the Slovak National Museum – Music Museum, serving as its director from 1995 to 2002. Since 2003, she has been affiliated with the Department of Musicology at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava.
In her research, she specializes in the historiography of early European and Slovak music history, organology, music iconography, and music museology. She presents the results of her work in scholarly journals, conference proceedings, and monographs, as well as at conferences and short-term lecture stays in Slovakia and abroad (for example in Venice, Budapest, Bydgoszcz, Kraków, Warsaw, Prague, Brno, Olomouc, and Kutná Hora). She has completed several research and study stays abroad (Japan, Austria, the USA, Romania) and also undertook a month-long study stay in Austria focused on the topic Musical Contacts between Vienna and Bratislava in the 17th Century.
In 2020, as editor, Jana Kalinayová-Bartová prepared what was at the time the most comprehensive publication on the musical history of Slovakia’s capital, Hudobné dejiny Bratislavy. Od stredoveku po rok 1918. (Musical History of Bratislava: From the Middle Ages to 1918). As a researcher long devoted to this subject, she authored not only scholarly chapters but also an extensive foreword in which she provided a precise synthesis of the topic.
